Daily life details and school culture

Boarding Arrangements

Boarding is offered at the Dover Campus for Grades 8–12. The campus has three boarding houses named after Nelson Mandela, Kurt Hahn and Maya Angelou. Boarders share a room with peers from other countries in an ensuite arrangement, supported by a team of house staff and a 24‑hour clinic to support wellbeing and academics. From August 2027, Grade 8 boarding will no longer be offered; boarding will be available from Grade 9 onwards.

House System

Dover Boarding comprises three houses named Mandela, Hahn and Maya Angelou. Boarders share a room with peers from different countries in an ensuite arrangement.
